Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 8122. Bird, W. F. April 4. Threads.-Hair or like material is bent. into the form of narrow hairpin loops and bound to one or more running threads of cotton &c. by one or more other threads of cotton &c. The bundle of hair is held at E, and the hairs are pushed through a small hole H in a fixed plate T to the bending-point F and bent to a sharp V by a grooved awl D reciprocated by an eccentric S, the running threads passing from a bobbin A through the centre of a rotating frame B carrying a bobbin C from which the binding- threads are drawn. The running thread may be dispensed with. The bundle of hair is moved intermittently over the plate T by a cam L formed in a circular toothed disk operated by a ratchet M from a crank and connecting-rod O, P. The top and bottom of the hair-holder E are slotted to allow the passage of the awl D at any position of the bundle. The thread is wound on a bobbin G by a reciprocating guiderod X operated by the lever U.

Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 8595. Smith, W. R., and Larkin, J. D. April 11. Circulating fluids through materials; agitating materials or liquids; cages or envelopes for containing materials during treatment.-In dyeing fibrous material which is loosely confined, the treating-liquor is circulated laterally therethrough while air is forced through the material and the liquid which permeates it. The material treated may be confined in a foraminous envelope, for example in the case of skeins j in sacks or envelopes i, Fig. 4; these may float freely in the liquor, the horizontal circulation through them being stated to be less than in the other cases. The treatment is effected in a preferably annular elliptical tank a, Fig. 2, wherein the liquid is circulated by paddle-wheels b. Air is forced up through the material f contained between horizontal perforated partitions d, e from slots c<3> in pipes c<2> connected to a rotary pump c. Instead of providing an upper partition e the material may be enclosed in a foraminous or perforated basket, or baskets, resting on the lower partition.

Title: Braiding Machines.
Inventor: PETERSEN ANKER
IPC: D04C3/00

Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 24,049. PÞtersen, A., and Boston Machinery Co. Oct. 21. Braiding-machines.-Relates to machines having two sets of supply-carriers travelling in opposite directions, the threads of the one set being interlaced with the threads of the other set by cam-operated levers. The lower set of supplies comprises twice as many threads as the upper set by which means the output is proportionately increased. The cam-ring 65, 68 is rotated in the opposite direction to the rotary frame 34, 35, 36 carrying the lower set of thread supplies, and the upper set of supplies 51 mounted on gear segments 44 sliding in an interrupted track between the portions 34, 35 are revolved in the same direction as the cam-ring. The lower supplies are mounted in pairs on brackets 72 and the pairs of threads pass first through a common slot 78, then through pairs of spring guides s 80, 81 and along the threadoperating arms 59, 60. These are so operated from the cam-grooves 65, 68 through intermediate connexions that one set 59 is down, as shown when the other set 60 is up. An electrical stopmotion, not claimed, is set so as to energize an electro-magnet 119 on the breakage of any thread or the exhaustion of any of the lower supplies, and when so acted on causes a latch 22 to free a bell-crank 23, 21, which is then operated by a spring 24 to draw apart the two coned portions 18, 19 of the power-transmitting device. The stopmotion is put into action on the breakage of any yarn from the lower set of supplies, by the respective spring guides 81 contacting as shown by dotted lines with an insulated plate 88. The series of plates 88 are connected by wires 105 to a wire 106 extending round the machine, the wire 106 being connected to a series of contact plates 107 connected together and mounted on and insulated from the frame 35. One of the plates 107 is connected to a source of currant, the circuit being completed through the plate of the machine. The plates 107 also contact intermittently with brushes 109 supported on and insulated from the supplycarriers 39. The thread from each supply 51 normally supports the arm 113 of a spring operated bell-crank, bnt when the thread breaks, the other end of the bell-crank contacts with the brush 109 and the circuit is completed through the adjacent contact plate 107. The lower supplies on the bracket 72 are also provided each with spring pressed bell crank arms which normally rest against the masses of thread and are sufficiently short to move past the axes of the supplies when the thread is nearly exhausted. When this occurs, contact is again made with the plates 88, to stop the machine.
